Greetings, great readers!
You may have noticed that I changed things up a bit yesterday by taking a hiatus from Traditional Tuesdays.
In the interest of trying something new, I’m trying out a new focus, on Allergy Friendly Foods with Allergy Friendly Wednesdays (AFW).
I’d love to hear your thoughts on what you think of this new Blog Hop!
Please know that I thought about this for quite awhile. I spent a lot of time checking links on AFW to make sure that there were very few processed food entries.
This past week, there were only 5 out of about 90. Not bad.
What to do if you see processed foods and don’t want them?:
- White or brown sugar? Sub in sucanat, or honey or an acceptable sugar free sweetener. Get help subbing in my post on Substituting Sweeteners in Baking and Cooking
- Chocolate Chips? Sub in my Homemade Chocolate / Carob Chips (new & improved version coming soon!)
- Others? Don’t think you’ll find many, but ask away if need be. (I see an entry this week for a cake that looks incredible but uses PB cups – I have a great healthy sub for that – Healthy “Almost Reese’s!“
So—-welcome to Allergy-Free Wednesdays (AFW). AFW is a weekly blog hop where folks can share their allergy-free cuisine, gain knowledge about allergy-related topics/issues, and connect with others living or caring for someone with food allergies.
Your weekly submissions will be shared on 7 blogs! Additionally, each hostess will feature a favorite recipe(s) from the week before. Please visit each blog to see their features! Your hostesses are:
- Tessa @ Tessa the Domestic Diva
- Laura @ Gluten Free Pantry
- Nancy @ Real Food Allergy Free
- Amber @ The Tasty Alternative
- Michelle @ The Willing Cook,
- Janelle @ Gluten Freely Frugal
- and–Me
.
Wondering What You Can Link Up on Allergy Free Wednesday?
*Please provide a description of your recipe, such as Dairy Free (DF), Gluten Free (GF), Sugar Free (SF), Vegan (V), etc.
Rules & Guidelines
*In order for your recipe to be featured, your post must contain a back link to our blog hop.
Each week, I’ll feature reader favorites and mine. Since I’m new this week – my favorite will start next week!
Here goes!
I look forward to seeing what you all have to share!
I will definitely be linking up with this – but for now I’m just going to read and get more ideas!!

Thanks!
Nice! Thanks for sharing! My family is BIG hockey fans and we’ve heard about poutine! Now I need to try it!
Awesome! I love this idea! I’ll share something for sure. Probably something simple this first time.

YEA! Nice to hear from you, Ela!
I don’t see your bars, Ela. This thing is acting weird. Let me know.
How weird! I saw all the linkup links before I commented and now it’s disappeared! So maybe tomorrow?

Yikes?! I’ll email someone to see if they can help. Ugh.
Ela – it’s back up. I have no idea what happened. Sorry!
Adrienne, thanks for getting it fixed so fast!
I’m sharing a very simple nut-dried fruit bar-type recipe, with dried nettles added to up the nutrition and minerals (nettles I harvested and dried myself!
cheers

Your recipes are so inventive! Love it!
You said it wasn’t showing up–sorry! I did post it, but maybe I need to try again. I’m on a different computer with a terrible connection but I’ll see what I can do…

I think it’s there now – my browser was having issues and when there were 70+ up I could only see 36! Go figure!
I would love to have nut-free recipes. My son and I are allergic to tree nuts and we also have a hard time with peanuts because of cross-contamination. I am also looking for nut substitutions for texture. Thank you in advance. I will post some of my traditional food recipes that I learned from my Mum.

Hello Debbie! Every one of my recipe is adaptable for nut free. I keep homemade nut and seed butters in my fridge at all times so I can interchange. My son can only have almonds and macadamias. Just out of curiosity – have you been tested for individual nuts? For years my son was off all nuts until his allergist had the wisdom to try some and he is able to eat these. We are going to run tests again soon to see if perhaps Brazils can be added to the mix.
Take care! Oh -if you use pumpkin and sunflower seeds you will get pretty good texture. Let me know if that helps!
Thanks for hosting. I shared a beef recipe that is quick and easy and I think I shared a post about the incredible healthy benefits of apple cider vinegar, but it is not showing up… Not sure
Anyway, have a great day.
Maybe you could try again? There were some issues w/ the linky and I’m puzzled. It vanished suddenly last night. ???
Didn’t get a chance to post a comment before when I shared my recipe for Spaghetti with fresh tomato sauce. Came back to do that, and check out some of the other links, but they’re gone. What happened?
Ok weird, the links are showing up now… Must be on my end. :-/

No – something is going on on my end. Trying to sort it out. I think it’s something to do w/ wordpress, but it never happened to me w/ my previous blog hop. Working on it and thanks for sharing!
Adrienne,
I apologize I thought this was your usual link up. If you can, delete the Salmon cakes as they are not allergy free. I tried to, but it would not work. I will have pick another recipe.
Sorry!
Dr. Lisa
Hi Lisa – I don’t see your salmon cakes, but I’d love to. They don’t need to be totally allergy free – do they have dairy? I don’t see it on other hosts’ sites either?? Let me know or please add it or something else again!
Thanks Adrienne,
We haven’t had him checked for individual nuts. In fact he hasn’t been tested for nuts. He had a very, very bad reaction after eating cashews at the age of 3. The doctor didn’t want to push it. He was shown to have mild allergies to nightshades and soy, but I think he has outgrown those two. I didn’t think of pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds. He will be so happy that he can try baklava (homemade of course)now. Maybe it is time to take him back and get him tested again, it has been 10 years now.
Thanks for responding. Love the blog.
Debbie
You’re welcome. I would also think about sesame. It’s worth finding out to give him more options. Thanks for your kind words! Hope to see you around again!
